d to command of the forces of the State near Richmond. There was doubtless an enthusiastic feeling among the Virginia troops to make a dash into Maryland, capture Washington and end the war. But the natural impulse was kept under the control of the leaders, and no such movement was seriously considered, although the advisory council requested the governor to send a commissioner to Maryland to ascertain the condition of affairs in that State, and endeavored to supply the requisition of General Steuart for arms. The Federal forces, which had been assembled at Washington, began to cross the Potomac on the 24th of May, and meeting no resistance, took possession of Alexandria. Time had been taken to bring Maryland under military control, and Baltimore had been under the command of Federal officers since the 13th of May, after which the policy of the administration was now to reduce Virginia to submission and overthrow the Confederacy by the capture of Richmond. Troops were also orde
ryville, and General Ewell marched directly for Winchester. In the assault made by Early's troops on the fortifications at Winchester, Hoke's brigade was in reserve and not actively engaged. When the enemy evacuated Winchester and attacked General Steuart, of Johnson's division, who had taken position at Jordan Springs to intercept the retreat, the First and Third North Carolina regiments and the two Virginia regiments making up the brigade, became engaged in a brilliant night battle. These regiments were in position along a railroad cut, and were largely outnumbered, but Milroy's men could not move them from their line, and about 1,000 surrendered to General Steuart alone, who had been reinforced by the brigades of Nicholls and Walker. The First North Carolina captured four stand of colors. Lieut. John A. Morgan, of the same regiment, greatly distinguished himself by serving gallantly a piece of artillery commanding a bridge desired by the Federals. The losses in the two regim

The First and Third North Carolina regiments were members of Steuart's brigade. These two regiments were veteran campaigners and indomitable fighters. They crSteuart's brigade. These two regiments were veteran campaigners and indomitable fighters. They crossed Rocky creek and broke their way through the thick woods in spite of an incessant artillery fire, and were soon within range of Greene's and Wadsworth's muskets. If it had not been so dark they would have fared far worse. On they pressed until Steuart's men captured Greene's works. Colonel Brown, of the First regiment, saySteuart's men captured Greene's works. Colonel Brown, of the First regiment, says that Lieut. Green Martin of that regiment was the first to enter the works, and was mortally wounded a moment later. That night they slept in the captured works, but their slumbers were broken before day by fast-falling shells. They were attacked by infantry, but repulsed the attack. Daniel's brigade, which had marched nearly
by Colonel Cox, then, upon that officer's being wounded, by Lieutenant-Colonel Stallings, and the Thirtieth North Carolina, Lieutenant-Colonel Sillers commanding. Colonel Sillers also received a terrible wound. The North Carolina losses in these engagements were: killed, 6; wounded, 109. The most serious infantry engagement during the November movements was at Payne's farm, or Bartlett's mill, on the 27th. The Federals unexpectedly attacked Johnson's division. The main attack fell on Steuart's and Walker's brigades. Here again, as at Bristoe, the heaviest losses fell on North Carolina troops. The Third North Carolina, Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, sustained the heaviest loss in the division—72 men. The First North Carolina, Colonel Thruston, suffered next in casualties. His regiment and the Fourth Virginia each lost 55 men. The brigades of Hoke, Daniel and Ramseur were several times under fire, but not seriously engaged. The total North Carolina casualties in the infantry were:
Twenty-third, Colonel Blacknall; and the First, Colonel Brown, and Third, Colonel Thruston, in Steuart's brigade. Ewell's battle of the 5th was entirely distinct from Hill's fight of the same dayk of Daniel and Gordon on the flank, the Confederate front also had been seriously struggling. Steuart's brigade, along with Battle's, engaged the right of Griffin, whose left had been turned by Daniel and Gordon. In Steuart's attack, the First and Third North Carolina regiments, forming his right, bore an honorable part. They charged upon a line of infantry supporting one of Griffin's battermians to strike him in front R. D. Johnston's North Carolinians joined Daniel on the flank, and Steuart's North Carolinians and Virginians fired into the other flank, as did also the Stonewall brigadumns, wedged almost into one moving mass, dashed over the works, capturing Generals Johnson and Steuart and over 2,000 men.

He took a conspicuous part with Ramseur's brigade in the battle of May 12th, for which Generals Lee and Ewell gave their thanks upon the field. After this battle he, though the junior colonel, was promoted to the command of the brigade, composed of the Second, Fourth, Fourteenth and Thirtieth regiments, to which were attached those of the First and Third regiments who escaped from the wreck of Steuart's brigade of Johnson's division. After the battle of Cold Harbor he served with Early's corps in the relief of Lynchburg, the expedition through Maryland to Washington, including the battle of Monocacy, and the Shenandoah battles of the fall of 1864. He then returned to the heroic army of Northern Virginia in the trenches before Petersburg, participated in the gallant and desperate effort of Gordon's corps to break the enemy's line at Fort Stedman, and during the retreat rounded out his r
